• ½ tsp Salt

For The Cream Cheese Frosting:

How to Make a Keto Pumpkin Roll Recipe

This recipe is broken down into three distinct steps for the best results: making the cake, preparing the frosting, and assembling the roll.

Making the Keto Pumpkin Cake

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175∘°C). In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, oat fiber, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. In a separate large bowl, use a handheld mixer to cream the softened butter for 3–5 minutes until it is light and fluffy. Next, add the brown sugar substitute and granulated sweetener to the butter and continue to cream until the mixture is fluffy. Beat the eggs and pumpkin puree into the butter and sweetener mixture. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until everything is fully incorporated. Spray a rimmed half-sheet baking pan with cooking spray and line it with parchment paper. Spread the cake batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake for 14–15 minutes, or until the cake is golden and set on top. Let the cake cool completely in the pan.

Preparing the Cream Cheese Frosting

Do not attempt to roll the cake while it is warm. While the cake cools, you should prepare the frosting. In a bowl, beat the softened butter until it is light and fluffy. Mix in the softened cream cheese. Now, add the powdered sweetener and oat fiber, and continue to mix until combined. Add the nut milk (or heavy cream) and vanilla extract. Mix the ingredients until the frosting is smooth and wonderfully creamy.

Assembling the Keto Pumpkin Roll

Once the cake has cooled completely, run a knife along the edges of the pan to loosen it. Carefully peel back the parchment paper and place the cake on a clean surface. Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the entire surface of the cake. Starting from one of the short edges, use the parchment paper underneath to help you lift and guide the cake into a tight roll. Place the rolled cake in the freezer for about 30 minutes to firm it up. After freezing, trim the ends for a clean look, then slice and serve the Keto Pumpkin Roll.

Tips for a Perfect Keto Pumpkin Roll

• Cooling is Crucial: The cake must be completely cool before you attempt to frost or roll it. If it is still warm, the frosting will melt, and the cake will crack.
• No Cracking: Since this recipe uses a blend of almond flour and oat fiber, it is designed to be very flexible, reducing the risk of cracking. Rolling when cool is your best defense against cracks.
• Oat Fiber Function: Oat fiber acts as a necessary binder and moisture absorber in this keto recipe, giving the cake a texture similar to a traditional flour-based sponge.
• Sweetener Choice: Ensure you use powdered sugar-free sweetener for the frosting; granulated sweeteners will create a gritty texture.

Final Thoughts

This Keto Pumpkin Roll Recipe is an amazing way to bring fall flavors to your table without compromising your low-carb goals. The combination of the spiced, tender cake and the creamy, tangy filling is absolutely irresistible. It is a show-stopping dessert that your family and friends will rave about!
